Abstract
Applicant's invention includes an apparatus (10, 110, 210, 310) and associated method for treating or managing spinal deformities. For purely thoracic scoliosis, the apparatus is attachable to either first and second ribs (12) (for treatment of thoracic scoliosis) and a distal thoracic rib, or to a distal thoracic rib and an attachment point on the sacrum (212) for treatment of lumbar scoliosis.
